Google?s Schmidt: It?s A Bug That Cars Were Invented Before Computers

"Something interesting is about to happen."

That was what Google CEO Eric Schmidt's opening remark at our TechCrunch Disrupt conference in San Francisco today. He continued on to say that the people in the audience represent another transition in the ways people use computers. We now have "an augmented version of humanity," Schmidt said. The future is about getting computers to do the things we're not good at.

Schmidt noted that it's ridiculous that humans and not computers drive cars. "Your car should drive itself. It just makes sense," Schmidt said. "It's a bug that cars were invented before computers," Schmidt remarked.
